kphler makes one that looks like that. so does a lot of other companies. typically looking under the counter will give some more info. even looking at the ceramic cartridge will help.

the one on the left is an insinkerator instant hot

Oh, that's the one I was talking about.(not!)
I would look at the ceramic cartridge if I could figure out how to get into it. i was hoping that cap would screw off. Nope. It turns the whole body. Thought I would wait till I got some spec sheets before I ruined his $$$ fct.

a rubber strap wrench on the top, just under the handle and a basin wrench from underneath is the trick.

i always grease the parts for the next guy

are there any tags or marks behind the spout? how about on the copper water tubes?

lots of faucets look alike.

faucets are required to have a manufactures label and an approval stamp. too bad they never seem to enforce this.

Man, I'm gonna need some long arms for that! I didn't examine very close under the sink since i don't think i have EVER seen any manufacture actually put their name anywhere you could find it except maybe Delta and Am.Stan.
There was nothing on back of the spout either.

To me it looks like a concinnity, I think. Does the airator look like you need a extra wide flat head screw driver to take it off? I had to repair one about 6 months ago and had a hard time finding parts. I was told by the supplier that they went out of business.

I have made some pretty good stretches in my time (It's usually the truth that gets stretched the most!)
I've also gotten some pretty bad cramps trying to do some of those stretches.

Speaking of stretches and Rick's favorite subject (tools). What is your favorite tool for removing kitchen spray holders. Now that's a stretch when you have to hold back on the top and turn the nut underneath.

The answer to that would be a second person

Have you ever tinkered with the possibility of it being river birch?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself

Well, I have seen some Concinnity installed around here. I'm trying here first and one other site before I start visiting showrooms that sell that stuff. I'll recommend first that he replace it before I spend a couple of hundred dollars looking for a part for it.
